“When you hate the thing that you're working on, that's when you question it.”
“Listening to and understanding our inner sufferings will resolve most of the problems we encounter.”
“And historically the owners have used loyalty to a team or a city to hold players as opposed to always paying their worth.”

“As soon as you go into any biological process in any real detail, you discover it's open-ended in terms of what needs to be found out about it.”
“I'm a true native of the Bay Area.”
“We have more freedom of the press than any other country in a similar position. Even way back in the frightened '50s, Communists, for example, could publish their magazine. The KKK published their own books. But face it, the mass media is controlled by money.”
